Drag x Drive: Global Jam demo event

Ahead of the game’s launch, Nintendo has announced the Drag x Drive: Global Jam demo event.

Those with a Nintendo Switch Online membership can access it next month. Three sessions will be held in total across a couple of days with four hours dedicated to each slot.

The full schedule is as follows:

Switch demos

Thousands of games are currently available on Switch, and there are a ton of demos out there for many of them. Not just Nintendo, but also third-parties are offering demos. We’ve now put together a comprehensive list of what’s out there.

Since our reader base is English-speaking, that’s what we’re focusing on here. In other words, we’re highlighting Switch demos that you can find in North America and Europe. Japan has a few extra demos on its end, but a majority of them are for titles that are not currently being sold in the west and are only playable in Japanese.

Wild Hearts S demo

If you’re itching to play Wild Hearts S before it comes to Nintendo Switch 2 at the end of the month, we’ve got good news – a demo has started to arrive.

As of now the demo for Wild Hearts S has rolled out in Japan and Australia. We imagine that the North American and European listings will update tomorrow as well. Even so, any  Switch 2 owner can download the trial right now if they create a Japanese or Australian Nintendo Account.

NetherWorld demo

There’s a Nintendo Switch demo on the way for the narrative-focused 2D action adventure game NetherWorld, SelectaPlay and Hungry Pixel has announced.

Technically the trial is already live in Europe via the official store page. However, we’re not quite seeing it in North America yet. That could change if the Nintendo eShop updates later today.

Terrifier The ARTcade Game demo

A demo for Terrifier: The ARTcade Game will be available on Nintendo Switch, according to SelectaPlay and Relevo.

The announcement technically states that the demo is out now. However, we don’t see a page on the Nintendo eShop for it currently. When the demo does go live – which should be soon – fans will be able to get a taste of the blood-soaked retro beat ’em up inspired by the arcade classics of the 80s and 90s.

If you’re looking to see what Street Fighter 6 is all about, you might be interested to know that a demo is available.

This is actually the first very demo for Nintendo Switch 2. As of now that’s the only one available for the system.

Publisher Holo Indie has just announced Hololive Treasure Mountain MegaPack for a June 18 eShop release. The game is already up for pre-order, with a demo available as well.

Developed by BeXide, Hololive Treasure Mountain is 3D physics puzzle game that originally released last year on Steam. Hololive Treasure Mountain MegaPack includes all of the DLC that has been released so far for the game.

Check out more information in the following overview:

The Hundred Line Last Defense Academy demo

The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy is closing out the week with a new demo on Nintendo Switch. By visiting the Nintendo eShop page, it can be downloaded now in both North America and Europe.

The demo introduces players to the Last Defense Academy and various characters, covering the first seven days of the 100-day story. Save data can be used in the full version.

Atelier Yumia demo

Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land is receiving a demo ahead of launch, Koei Tecmo and Gust shared today. Fans can grab it starting on March 17, 2025.

The demo lets players experience the game starting with the prologue up to the early game main quest, “Pioneering the Ligneus Region”. It offers a glimpse of gathering ingredients on the field, battles, synthesis, and building. Also, all progress can transfer over to the full version of the title.

Star Overdrive demo

Starting today, Star Overdrive fans can try out a demo early with a demo that just arrived on Nintendo Switch. It’s accessible via the official Nintendo eShop page.

There’s a good chunk of gameplay here as the team says players can access the first hour or so of content. This includes a glimpse of the story plus a taste of the game’s puzzles, combat, and ability to free-ride on their hoverboard in the tutorial zone of a vast alien world.
